I didn't know about Trea Turner on that PTBNL issue. Which trade was that? WA to LA?

Getz has one of the 30 best jobs anywhere.

Right on. But then, I remember how Boras made mincemeat out of our Hahn/Kenny duo in the Carlos Rodon signing, paying way over slot for a #3 pick.

Interesting, Doc. Brings to mind Tiger Woods changing his swing twice in his prime. Can't remember if he took a lot of time off. Do you remember?

Kelenic not in favor.

I think a lot of you guys overrate Meidroth. His trading value might never be as high as right now. Especially with Antonucci being just a year away.

Yes. I'm saying that Bonemer is the better prospect.

Then he's not the best player in the system.

How can he be in the Top 100 when he is #19 on the Sox?

reign?

I get the feeling people here consider Acuna to be better than Baldwin. Not me.

I never heard the story of the fight with Fox and Fain. Where were the sportswriters in those days? Fain was still a pretty good hitter. I still remember one game when he hit an inside the park grand slam.

They attribute it to Bregman and win total of 99.

I saw an article on my phone yesterday that was interesting. It listed the 5 teams most likely to have a breakout season, They were Braves Orioles Pirates Sox Cubs It didn't say anything we already didn't know, but it did predict a 10 game increase in Wins. The Pirates should be interesting this year.

Now we can say that both players taken out my Managers mid-inning are Hall of Famers.

The only other time I remember a Manager taking a player out like that was when Billy Martin took out Reggie Jackson at Comiskey Park. That happened well before the Cox/Jones incident. I'm sure there were others.

My memory of Jones is the sequence when Manager Bobby Cox pulled him out of the outfield in middle of an inning for obviously not hustling. Twice.

Center Field.

8.

Of course, all of you are assuming a 13 man staff, which I think is ridiculous. Just don't need that many pitchers, IMO.

Well, both you and Timmy are way ahead of me. I still have some mild affection for Rockies, so I'm pulling for the kid.

I didn't know that. I looked at his stats. 18-year-old kid in Low A hit around ,240 with .737 OPS. Strikeouts were a bit high. Still, he's a big kid, built like his father, played reasonably well. I'm surprised by your analysis.

I still don't get why they chose not to play him. Other top high school picks played after the draft and did well. Holliday for one.

I don't get that kind of love for Billy Carlson, since he hasn't played a game yet.

If the Agents ever got together and started their own Hall of Fame, Moncada's agent would be inducted.
